Profile

I've worked in the electrical field since 1967 doing all types of

electrical work from residential, commercial, industrial, and motor

control. I owned my own business for over 25 years where I worked on

government projects such as schools, fire and police stations, and pump

stations. Our projects ranged from $100,000.00 to $4,000,000.00. I had 80

to 140 employees. My company was also certified by the state to run our

own apprenticeship school.

Professional Experience

KAPLAN, Charlestown, MA 2005 - 2013

Instructor & Program Director for the Electrical and HVAC Programs

Duties include creating lesson plans and ordering materials and supplies

necessary for instructional purposes. Also hiring any sub-contractors when

needed and creating all specifications and drawing for sub-contractors to

base their bid on. Also, I worked directly with the students, getting

students jobs upon graduation, finding electrical contractors to place

students in co-op programs, and working to keep students in the program

that may be having problems staying in school. These students are taught

the electrical & the HVAC trade, which includes estimating and project

management besides the wiring and controls.. I also call on the non-profit

businesses, such as Habitat for Humanity, Boston Chapter and got our

students involved in wiring their projects. The Habitats contact person is

George O'Malley at 617-***-****. I am certified by the state to teach all

aspects of the electrical business from the introduction to the industrial,

motor control and HVAC controls and commercial and residential wiring.

Kaplans people called and asked if I would be interested in starting the

electrical program. At the time, I only had one other instructor and we

built the program from 12 students during the day to over 400. We built all

the labs, including the stick house and motor control center to the service

distribution area. After having such success, I was put in charge of the

HVAC program. I was in charge of 18 instructors.

The school closed their doors of all the schools in Massachusetts in 2013.I

own doing small residential and commercial projects.
